There is a partnership between Microsoft and Canonical, Ltd. I do see Microsoft
muddeling platforms with .NET Core, PowerShell Core, SQL Server 2017, and WSL
(the ability to run ELF binaries on Windows). I'm not sure of their intentions,
but if it is to shut down Linux or open source, it'll be a daring and stupid
move. Especially when .NET Core, PowerShell Core, ASP.NET Core,
EntityFramework, MSBuild, Roslyn, and et al, are open source as well.

Seriously, Microsoft has a lot repositories on GitHub, and non-Microsoft
employees are contributing to these repositories.
